The International exhibition of marine and maritime hygiene was a world's fair held in Genoa in 1914.[1]
Summary
The fair was held between May 23, 1914[2] and 15 December 1914[1] with the aim of showing life in Italian colonies.[1]
The fair was opened by Vittorio Emanuele III and Queen Elena.[1]
Contents
The overall design of the fair was by Gino Coppedè.[3] There were 1200 exhibitors from all continents.[3]
There were displays from the colonies of Eritrea, Somalia, Cyrenaica and Tripolitania[4] and one about the economics of the territories in Africa.[4]
In addition to individual colonies there was a stadium,[5] a copy of the Galata Tower (which had been built when Galata was a Republic of Genoa colony) and a mosque.
Attractions included a large diorama created by Francesco Bosso of the Panama Canal, which opened in 1914.[6]
Transportation
A monorail and a cable car were both built for the exhibition,[3] with the monorail, known as Telfer [it], continuing to run until 1918.
